Coca-Cola Super Bowl Ad: Disgusting Hateful Reactions

Shockingly, Coca-Cola’s beautiful ad celebrating American diversity provoked a storm of haters tweeting that all the non-English speaking voices in the ad should ‘Speak American.’

Coca-Cola aired their new commercial during the Super Bowl, titled “It’s Beautiful,” but it brought out the ugly side of a disgusting number of prejudice commenters on Twitter. The ad was a celebration of American multiculturalism portraying citizens from all different backgrounds — races, ethnicities, skin colors — as well as the first gay family ever to be shown in a Super Bowl ad. Scenes of Americans from all different walks of life were caught on film while “America the Beautiful” was sung in several different languages. It was a touching and inspiring representation of America’s exclusiveness, but the reaction proved that there are still far too many ignorant people out there.

Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl Commercial

We’re completely shocked by the Twitter reaction from the Coke commercial. Not only did people start bashing the company for airing a commercial with different cultures singing in different languages. Then the hashtag “SpeakAmerican” began trending, showing that the people tweeting were not just ignorant but grammatically challenged, since you most Americans speak English, not American.

On a very positive note however, GLADD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) tweeted that this was the first commercial ever airing during the Super Bowl that featured a gay family. So, getting such a negative outpour was really just disgusting.
